Rabbi Benyamin Bresinger grew up in Montreal, where he completed his university degree at Concordia. After graduation, he continued his life education by traveling extensively, visiting over twenty-five countries worldwide.

After he graduated from the Rabbinical College of America Kollel in 1991, he and his wife Karen were appointed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to represent Chabad in Metro West New Jersey, where he became a Pastoral Counsellor for Jewish addicts in recovery.
During this time, he authored a course on Addiction and Spirituality, which he presented in numerous cities throughout the U.S.

In 2007, Rabbi Bresinger and Karen, who holds a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University, returned to Montreal to become the Director and Clinical Director, respectively, of Chabad Lifeline, a nonprofit, non-sectarian addiction counselling centre.
Under their leadership, the centre has grown significantly, with a staff of 20 working tirelessly to treat everyone touched by the pain of addiction, regardless of their background, religion, or financial situation.
